SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS FOR THE INDUSTRY
In a world that is constantly changing, we are permanently confronted with new challenges. Sustainability is a good example of such a change. Today, sustainability is no longer a trend, but rather a necessity. Companies, large or small, are faced with increasing customer demands and legal requirements. These requirements affect every aspect of the company, from products to work processes.
Increasingly, they also apply to workshops. Here, too, adapting to change is decisive for long-term success. On this website, you will learn more about how we at Würth include sustainability in our field of products and get an overview of our range of sustainable products that help you make your workshop ready for the future.
Sustainable products: What does that actually mean?
Sustainability is a field that is evolving permanently. We are affected by this change, too, and bear the responsibility to develop further accordingly. At Würth, we consider our journey to sustainability a permanent learning process in which openness to change and innovation is of central importance.
A critical challenge in the discussion about sustainable products is that there is no uniform understanding of what “sustainable” means. For there is no standardized definition of what exactly makes up a sustainable product. In order to tackle this challenge and create transparency and a uniform understanding, we established a system at Würth to assess how sustainable our products are. This sustainability assessment serves as a basis for evaluating, developing and transparently communicating our products.
Sustainability assessment based on 6 categories
The sustainability assessment of our products consists of the following six categories:
• Climate
• Environment
• Resources
• Emissions/Pollutants
• Label-free
• Reduced hazardous substances
Due to the wide variety of products within the Würth Group, we rely not only on product-specific documents but also on external certifications to meet these categories.
As part of a holistic approach to sustainability, we consider not only product properties but also social standards along the supply chain. The product assessment is continuously developed to comply with evolving legal requirements and market demands. Current threshold values are regularly reviewed and adjusted.
More than ten years ago, the Würth Group introduced ECOLINE products to offer a standardized ecological product line. This label has now been revised and is based on an enhanced product assessment. Products that meet at least two of the four key categories receive the ECOLINE logo. As the sustainability evaluation evolves, the ECOLINE portfolio may also change to ensure transparency and credibility.
